Assembly Problem

Assembly Problem

Assembly Problem

(OP)
Hello

I am using Solid Edge v12 and I am having trouble when I try to assemble parts for a front wheel suspension on a race car.  The assembly consists of the chasis which has 4 sets of plates properly posistioned on the frame.  Each set of plates has a hiem joint in between.  The top two hiem joints are connected buy connecting rods to create a triangle as well as the lower joints. The two triangles swing freely up and down. The problem occurs when I try to connect the hub to the connecting rods.  Once I connect the hub, nothing wants to move, and I need to be able to adjust the connecting rods different distances to figure out camber and other information for the hub.  I tried putting a floating offset for the connecting rods to move in and out, but the problem still occurs.  When I switch to motion I am able to move the hub up and down, but I cant adjust the rods. I have pictures to better explain the problem.  If you think you can be of any help or would like to see the pictures contact me at...
